The terracotta frontage of National Buildings can be seen in the background. (Now converted to luxury apartments having once been offices.) The National Boiler & General Insurance Company, established in 1864, relocated to these purpose-built offices in 1906. They replaced tenements which once lined the River Irwell, running at the back of the building. The first ever Radio Station in Manchester broadcast from a barge moored in the river at the back of National Buildings (1920s).
